As soon as he entered his room, Grace had already changed, a.s.suming the simple nighttime outfit of her white tank top and pink panties that made her look delectable."Finally, I"m so hungry!" She grinned, watching him bring in the plate of chicken b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
"Well, here you go," Stephen smiled weakly.
Luckily, Grace didn"t miss much, and seemed to sense the change in his mood. As he set the plate down, she came to his side.
"Hey," she started, catching his eyes. "What"s wrong?"
"Nothing, it"s nothing," he said, dismissively, waiving his hand.

"Stephen, it"s okay. You can tell me."
"I"m okay, I promise." He gave his best "I"m fine" smile to her, but she knew better. Or perhaps she sensed better.
"Did you forget I can see into your mind, silly?" Grace smiled. "You can tell me. I"m here for you."
Stephen took a long sigh, and then finally looked up at her, realizing he wasn"t going to win this one. Perhaps it was time to tell Grace.
"It"s just, I was thinking about something. Well, someone just a little earlier. Something that I blame myself for and the pain is still raw."
Grace just listened as he spoke, letting him get it all out in his own pace.
"I used to have a cousin, Danny. He was the son of my mom"s sister, Linda. We were tight, very close. Practically brothers. Grew up together, did everything together. During the summers growing up, he"d come over and stay for a couple weeks at a time and we would do so many fun things. One time in particular, I remember we started our own radio station," Stephen chuckled at the memory. "Not a real one, of course. But we acted like DJs and would use our microphone in some random chat room and play the biggest hits of the time. We were always doing stupid stuff like that."
"Sounds like you guys were a lot of fun," smiled Grace.
